The call

The clearest difference is price: Whisper at Free against Stash's $5.99. Whisper also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). Stash's advantage is chart position (#5 vs unranked) and device support (3 vs 1). On ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
