Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Waitlist at none against Oli’s's shown. Waitlist also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Oli’s's advantage is ratings volume (48 vs 2). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
