Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Bombed at none against Word Clouds's 9. Bombed also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Word Clouds's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 5 months). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
