Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: My Tello at none against Winky's 2. My Tello also leads on chart position (#160 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 26.0). Winky's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
