The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Word Buffet at none against PixWords® Scenes's 10. Word Buffet also leads on ads (none vs shown). PixWords® Scenes's advantage is ratings volume (3.1K vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.
