Cachly's advantage is ratings volume (3.7K vs 3) and update cadence (every 9 days vs monthly). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

wIgHelper is free to download; Cachly costs $4.99 up front. Cachly sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and wIgHelper sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
