Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: myAzuria at free against HomeWAV's free with in-app purchases. myAzuria also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). HomeWAV's advantage is ratings volume (11K vs 4) and chart position (#168 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
