Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: MacroPilot at 100% against GlucoWatch's 69%. MacroPilot also leads on rating (4.0 vs 3.6). GlucoWatch's advantage is ratings volume (206 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

MacroPilot holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GlucoWatch has 206 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 69% of GlucoWatch's written reviews are positive against 100% of MacroPilot's.
