Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Aetheryte at 100% against Wolow's 57%. Aetheryte also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.3). Wolow's advantage is ratings volume (1.3K vs 42) and iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Wolow sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Aetheryte sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Aetheryte holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wolow has 1.3K ratings behind it against 42, so its average is the more settled of the two.
