Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Waddl at none against Truffle's 3. Waddl also leads on review sentiment (86% vs 65%) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). Truffle's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 12 months) and ratings volume (338 vs 23). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
