Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: The CW at every 4 weeks against WMUN's every 23 months. The CW also leads on ratings volume (22K vs 3) and chart position (#136 vs unranked). WMUN's advantage is rating (3.7 vs 3.3) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
