Spond describes itself as a free app and club management solution that handles invites, reminders, payments and event waiting lists. Who's In is narrower: you keep your roster on your phone, text one invite, and players answer from a link.
You want the lightest possible loop for a single recurring game, with your roster kept on your own device and no account for players.
You run a club or team and want built-in group tools, payments collection and a shared place for everyone in the group.
