Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Watsons TH at 4.7 against Big C PLUS's 3.8. Watsons TH also leads on review sentiment (51% vs 17%) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 18). Big C PLUS's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
