Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Just Rss at 5.0 against Wire's 4.5. Just Rss also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). Wire's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (13 vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
