Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Pro Pick'em at 4.5 against Pickwatch's 3.8. Pro Pick'em also leads on ratings volume (776 vs 17) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). Pickwatch's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pro Pick'em sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Pickwatch sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
