Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: W/Y expert at fortnightly against Packet Sender's every 8 months. W/Y expert also leads on price ($0.99 vs $1.99) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.6). Packet Sender's advantage is chart position (#65 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
