Verdict

The call

PicText Puzzles and Pictogram both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of PicText Puzzles's written reviews are positive against 47% of Pictogram's. PicText Puzzles also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Pictogram's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 25 months) and ratings volume (2.7K vs 42). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
