Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: ™ Gomoku at 4.5 against Tygem Go Lite's 2.8. ™ Gomoku also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (3K vs 18). Tygem Go Lite's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 7 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
