Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Sponge Hydration at none against Visana's 3. Sponge Hydration also leads on ratings volume (8 vs 1). Visana's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
