Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Silhouette Go at Free against ButtonWrap's $2.99. Silhouette Go also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). ButtonWrap's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months) and chart position (#86 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
