Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: CWAnyWhere at none against Centra Mobile's shown. CWAnyWhere also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). Centra Mobile's advantage is review sentiment (81% vs 52%) and ratings volume (11K vs 1.5K). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
