Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Essential Sci at 4.5 against Wawkalak TV's 1.0. Essential Sci also leads on ratings volume (33 vs 1) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 4 months). Wawkalak TV's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
