Verdict
WrtHub and OpenWRT Manager both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of WrtHub's written reviews are positive against 0% of OpenWRT Manager's. WrtHub also leads on price (Free vs $0.99) and in-app purchases (none vs 2). OpenWRT Manager's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 4 weeks). On rating, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
