The call

The clearest difference is price: The Daily Puzzle at Free against PathPix Pro's $2.99. The Daily Puzzle also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 17 months) and ratings volume (2.7K vs 127). PathPix Pro's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 8) and ads (none vs shown). On rating and device support there is nothing between them.
