Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Cypher at none against Decrypto's 8. Cypher also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 85%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Decrypto's advantage is ratings volume (123 vs 2) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 9 days). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
