Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Original Yatzy at none against Hex Tac Toe's 3. Original Yatzy also leads on update cadence (every 5 months vs every 18 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). Hex Tac Toe's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
