Verdict

The call

Joy Square and Wordfully both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Joy Square's written reviews are positive against 61% of Wordfully's. Joy Square also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (14.4 vs 18.6). Wordfully's advantage is ratings volume (11K vs 7) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
