Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Nummery at none against Puzzle IO's shown. Nummery also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and review sentiment (100% vs 74%). Puzzle IO's advantage is ratings volume (348 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
