Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Wanderlust Archers at none against CHSN's 5. Wanderlust Archers also leads on ads (none vs shown). CHSN's advantage is chart position (#47 vs unranked) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, update cadence and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
