Are they interchangeable?

Yes — interchangeable

Yes, physically. AG13 is the same as LR44 (alkaline), and 357 is the silver oxide version of the same size. They are interchangeable in terms of fit. The 357 will last longer and hold a steadier voltage.

The verdict

Same advice as LR44 vs 357. Use 357 for watches and precision devices. Use AG13 for everything else. They fit the same compartments.
