Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Williams Center at none against KAR's 1. Williams Center also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.2) and device support (3 vs 1). KAR's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 28 months) and ratings volume (588 vs 10). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
