Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Watsons TH at 4.7 against Melium's 3.0. Watsons TH also leads on ratings volume (1.1K vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Melium's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
