Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Wondering at none against Pinnacle's shown. Wondering also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (86 vs 2). Pinnacle's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Wondering sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month and Pinnacle sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Pinnacle holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wondering has 86 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
