Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Side+ at 96% against WWE's 47%. Side+ also leads on rating (4.9 vs 3.7) and ads (none vs shown). WWE's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.6). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
