Verdict
The clearest difference is price: OpenInYT at Free against WAS's $2.49. OpenInYT also leads on review sentiment (78% vs 58%). WAS's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 8 months) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

OpenInYT is free to download; WAS costs $2.49 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
WAS holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WAS has 92 ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of OpenInYT's written reviews are positive against 58% of WAS's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
OpenInYT ships an update every 8 months, WAS fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 12, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
