Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: JustSketchMe at Free against ButtonWrap's $2.99. JustSketchMe also leads on iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). ButtonWrap's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
