Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: yourWeight at free with in-app purchases against Happy Scale's subscription. Happy Scale's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (91% vs 57%). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Happy Scale sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and yourWeight sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
