Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Mafiaa at 100% against Wordmaster's 46%. Mafiaa also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.0) and ads (none vs shown). Wordmaster's advantage is ratings volume (366 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.5). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
