Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Riddle Zen at weekly against Oculux's every 2 months. Riddle Zen also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and review sentiment (100% vs 87%). Oculux's advantage is ratings volume (198 vs 3) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
