The clearest difference is review sentiment: Simple Wake On Lan at 96% against ThreadMaster's 33%. Simple Wake On Lan also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 14) and ads (none vs shown). ThreadMaster's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 10 days). On price, ratings volume and device support there is nothing between them.
