Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: That Word at 58% against Word Groups's 0%. That Word also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Word Groups's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and ratings volume (442 vs 8). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. That Word sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Word Groups sells 14 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Word Groups holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Word Groups has 442 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of That Word's written reviews are positive against 0% of Word Groups's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
