Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Write2Buy at 5.0 against Blink's 4.3. Write2Buy also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and price ($0.99 vs $2.99). Blink's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 15 months) and ratings volume (168 vs 1). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
