Wave's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 8 months) and ratings volume (6.7K vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Wave sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $8.00 per month and D2 Savings sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $149.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
