Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: WordBuilder Intervention at free against Seterra Geography (full)'s paid. WordBuilder Intervention also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 79%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.4). Seterra Geography (full)'s advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 11 months) and ratings volume (17K vs 6). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Seterra Geography (full) holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.7.

Written reviews complicate that: 79% of Seterra Geography (full)'s written reviews are positive against 100% of WordBuilder Intervention's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
