Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: SlidePuzzleX at Free against supertype's $1.99. SlidePuzzleX also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months). supertype's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#18 vs unranked). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
