Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: WCIC at none against WCTL's shown. WCIC also leads on ratings volume (21 vs 2) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). WCTL's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
