Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Wanascope at none against Bearball's shown. Wanascope also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 10 days). Bearball's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0.0 vs 17.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
