Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Wrixle at none against Haven's 5. Wrixle also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). Haven's advantage is ratings volume (12 vs 1) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, rating and ads there is nothing between them.
