Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: PokeItForward at 100% against WhatPrice's 50%. PokeItForward also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.2) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). WhatPrice's advantage is ratings volume (60 vs 1) and chart position (#19 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
