Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Machine Mart at 50% against Wickes's 15%. Machine Mart also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Wickes's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 19 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
