Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Spotter at none against Wavepoint's 3. Spotter also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). Wavepoint's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 4 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
