Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Senet at none against XII Scripta (AG)'s 10. Senet also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks). XII Scripta (AG)'s advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price there is nothing between them.
