Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Wiki Wars at none against The Pinball Wizard's shown. Wiki Wars also leads on update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). The Pinball Wizard's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
