Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: WordPress at 4.6 against Wix Studio's 2.5. WordPress also leads on ratings volume (22K vs 50) and review sentiment (37% vs 15%). Wix Studio's advantage is monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

WordPress holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.5.

Written reviews point the same way: 37% of WordPress's written reviews are positive against 15% of Wix Studio's.
