The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pow at none against Word Grid Game's 4. Pow also leads on review sentiment (44% vs 20%) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 6 months). Word Grid Game's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.
