Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Wikipedia at 55% against EU Charter's 0%. Wikipedia also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 39 months) and chart position (#28 vs unranked). EU Charter's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
