Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Dungeon Scroll at none against Word Dungeon's 3. Dungeon Scroll also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.1). Word Dungeon's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 35 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
