Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: String Art at every 2 weeks against Go Fish!'s every 3 months. String Art also leads on review sentiment (37% vs 22%). Go Fish!'s advantage is ratings volume (455K vs 26K) and chart position (#184 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
