Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Gomoku at none against Tile Match 3D's shown. Gomoku also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Tile Match 3D's advantage is ratings volume (39 vs 1) and update cadence (every 4 months vs every 11 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
