Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Avista at 48% against My WM's 16%. Avista also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5). My WM's advantage is ratings volume (77K vs 4.6K) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
