Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Spelling Bee at Free against Spelling Bee's $1.99. Spelling Bee also leads on rating (4.6 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (797 vs 1). Spelling Bee's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7) and review sentiment (50% vs 41%). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Spelling Bee holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Spelling Bee has 797 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 41% of Spelling Bee's written reviews are positive against 50% of Spelling Bee's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
