Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Z at Free against Wilderless's $4.99. Z also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). Wilderless's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
