Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: wingwave at freemium against The Tapping Solution's subscription. wingwave also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). The Tapping Solution's advantage is ratings volume (24K vs 47) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
