Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Gomoku at none against Endspiel's shown. Gomoku also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.3). Endspiel's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 11 months). On price, rating, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
