Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Wallet Balance at 80% against ClearCheckbook's 38%. Wallet Balance also leads on rating (4.7 vs 3.1) and ratings volume (11K vs 153). ClearCheckbook's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
