Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: feeder at none against Wire's 4. feeder also leads on review sentiment (58% vs 29%) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 26.0). Wire's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
