Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Deeper Well at none against Depengder's 8. Deeper Well also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 5 weeks). Depengder's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and device support there is nothing between them.
