Verdict
The clearest difference is price: WO Recruiting at Free against Army Publications's $0.99. WO Recruiting also leads on iOS requirement (7.0 vs 12.0). Army Publications's advantage is rating (2.2 vs 1.0) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 14 months). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
