Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DashScreen at none against Wi's 3. DashScreen also leads on ads (none vs shown). Wi's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
