Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Factorization training at 5.0 against WolframAlpha's 2.8. Factorization training also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 6) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.6). WolframAlpha's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (129 vs 1). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
