Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: X vs O at none against Tic Tac Toe's 1. X vs O also leads on ads (none vs shown). Tic Tac Toe's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 61 months) and device support (4 vs 2). On price and review sentiment there is nothing between them.
