Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Hexa Knot at none against Crazy Gears Box's 1. Hexa Knot also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (290 vs 83). Crazy Gears Box's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 6 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
