Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Wiki Rabbit at none against Sight & Sound's 3. Wiki Rabbit also leads on update cadence (every 3 months vs every 15 months). Sight & Sound's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
