Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Taboo Words at free with in-app purchases against Bright.Cards's subscription. Taboo Words also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 71%). Bright.Cards's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
