Verdict
WASH and Elapse both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 67% of Elapse's written reviews are positive against 24% of WASH's. Elapse also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 4 weeks) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). WASH's advantage is ratings volume (198K vs 22) and chart position (#140 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
