Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: NCHS Courant at 5.0 against WFSB's 4.5. NCHS Courant also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). WFSB's advantage is ratings volume (13K vs 2) and device support (4 vs 2). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
NCHS Courant holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WFSB has 13K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
