Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Wizard Swipe at none against PPKP's shown. Wizard Swipe also leads on iOS requirement (8.1 vs 15.0). PPKP's advantage is ratings volume (23K vs 432) and rating (4.9 vs 4.6). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
