Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: WHCB at none against WVEK App's shown. WHCB also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 24 months) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). WVEK App's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
