Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: WabunMorse at none against Morse Code Trainer's 1. WabunMorse also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Morse Code Trainer's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
