Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Tiny House Listings at none against Happy Wave's 1. Tiny House Listings also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.1). Happy Wave's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
