Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: WorldPlus at 100% against iPhone Life's 41%. WorldPlus also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 4 months) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). iPhone Life's advantage is chart position (#203 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
