Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Watsons TH at 4.7 against DONKI's 2.6. Watsons TH also leads on ratings volume (1.1K vs 11) and review sentiment (52% vs 29%). DONKI's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
