Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Polysyllable at none against PixWords® Scenes's shown. Polysyllable also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs monthly) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 12.0). PixWords® Scenes's advantage is ratings volume (3.1K vs 58). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
