Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Nonogram FRVR at free with in-app purchases against Pixelogic's subscription. Nonogram FRVR also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). Pixelogic's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (946 vs 45). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
