Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Checkbook Wiz at free with in-app purchases against Checkbook's subscription. Checkbook Wiz also leads on review sentiment (75% vs 56%). Checkbook's advantage is ratings volume (14K vs 812) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
