Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Intergalactic Algebra at none against Light House puzzle's shown. Intergalactic Algebra also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). Light House puzzle's advantage is monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ratings volume there is nothing between them.
