The duration of the round is shown at the bottom of the screen. If the player does not guess the password within the allotted time, the queue moves to the next person. 6.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: eHeads at Free against Taboo's $1.99. eHeads also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Taboo's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (monthly vs every 5 months). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
