Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: WBKM at none against The Pick.'s shown. WBKM also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and ratings volume (19 vs 3). The Pick.'s advantage is update cadence (every 16 months vs every 65 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
