Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: swipe at 4.7 against Partywheel's 3.2. swipe also leads on review sentiment (90% vs 50%) and ratings volume (2.4K vs 5). Partywheel's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
