Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Busco at 4.8 against WKND's 1.0. Busco also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 46 months) and ratings volume (16 vs 1). WKND's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
