Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Dunedin Public Libraries at none against Waitomo's shown. Dunedin Public Libraries also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (100% vs 84%). Waitomo's advantage is ratings volume (54 vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
