Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: PTOspace at free against Wander's paid. PTOspace also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Wander's advantage is ratings volume (1.2K vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
