Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: VSim at Free against WatchUSStates's $0.99. VSim also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 19 months) and ratings volume (17K vs 1). WatchUSStates's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and ads (none vs shown). On device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
