Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: WengiWengi at none against Atkinson's shown. WengiWengi also leads on rating (3.6 vs 3.3) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). Atkinson's advantage is review sentiment (71% vs 50%). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WengiWengi sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Atkinson sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
WengiWengi holds the better App Store score, 3.6 against 3.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 5 and 6 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of WengiWengi's written reviews are positive against 71% of Atkinson's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
WengiWengi ships an update weekly, Atkinson monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 18, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
