Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Watilon at Free against Gnist's $1.99. Watilon also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Gnist's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
