Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: WEOL at 100% against cleveland.com's 29%. WEOL also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 16) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). cleveland.com's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 3.7) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 7 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. cleveland.com sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. WEOL asks for nothing beyond the download.
cleveland.com holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: cleveland.com has 11K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of cleveland.com's written reviews are positive against 100% of WEOL's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
cleveland.com ships an update every 3 weeks, WEOL every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
