Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Figma at none against 12×12's 3. Figma also leads on chart position (#69 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.5). 12×12's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
