Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Chptr at every 2 weeks against Wait's every 6 weeks. Chptr also leads on ratings volume (43 vs 8). Wait's advantage is monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
