The clearest difference is ads: Puzzolo at none against Deduce Max Word Puzzle's shown. Puzzolo also leads on ratings volume (35 vs 4) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.6). Deduce Max Word Puzzle's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
