Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Cloudray at none against BayWatch's 6. Cloudray also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). BayWatch's advantage is chart position (#171 vs unranked). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
