Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Wireless Access Control at none against Email's 22. Wireless Access Control also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks). Email's advantage is ratings volume (79K vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
