Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Learning It at free against Writing Wizard's free with in-app purchases. Learning It also leads on iOS requirement (10.3 vs 15.6). Writing Wizard's advantage is ratings volume (5.2K vs 64). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
