Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Watchin at 5.0 against GameBox's 3.8. Watchin also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). GameBox's advantage is ratings volume (577 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.4). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
