Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Wehrschach at 3.5 against SkatGenius+'s 3.0. SkatGenius+'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 16 months). On price, ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Wehrschach sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. SkatGenius+ asks for nothing beyond the download.
Wehrschach holds the better App Store score, 3.5 against 3.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2 and 1 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Wehrschach's written reviews are positive against 67% of SkatGenius+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Wehrschach ships an update every 16 months, SkatGenius+ every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
