Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: iCollect Everything at 4.6 against Wayback Machine's 2.2. iCollect Everything also leads on review sentiment (46% vs 16%) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months). Wayback Machine's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 15) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
