The clearest difference is rating: TapLex at 5.0 against AppTicker Wish's 4.3. TapLex also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 83%). AppTicker Wish's advantage is ratings volume (37 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AppTicker Wish sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and TapLex sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
