Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Trading Card TV at 3.9 against PokeWatcher's 3.1. Trading Card TV also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 5 months) and device support (3 vs 1). PokeWatcher's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and monetization model there is nothing between them.
