Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: WetRuler at none against Deep Tools's 3. WetRuler also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Deep Tools's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 43 months) and ratings volume (93 vs 1). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
