Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Wheels Afield at none against Bird Bam's shown. Wheels Afield also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). Bird Bam's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 12 months). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
