Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Fern Browser at Free against WatchSoul's $6.99. Fern Browser also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.6). WatchSoul's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 7 months). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
