Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Wanderwalks at 100% against IPPS's 7%. Wanderwalks also leads on rating (5.0 vs 1.5) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 7 months). IPPS's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (262 vs 4). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
