Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: iPuzzleSolver Lite at none against Vellara's shown. iPuzzleSolver Lite also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Vellara's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 4 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
