Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Wingpedia at none against Upside Drinks's shown. Wingpedia also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs monthly) and review sentiment (100% vs 86%). Upside Drinks's advantage is ratings volume (28 vs 4). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
