Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Evac Ops at none against WingMate Companion's 11. Evac Ops also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.6). WingMate Companion's advantage is ratings volume (267 vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 8 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
