Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Wiki Search at 4.8 against Wikiflow's 4.1. Wiki Search also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1). Wikiflow's advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 50%) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 17.0). On price, ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Wikiflow sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Wiki Search asks for nothing beyond the download.
Wiki Search holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 8 and 8 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Wiki Search's written reviews are positive against 67% of Wikiflow's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
