Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Wave Warden at none against Spellers's shown. Wave Warden also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Spellers's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
