Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Word Falls at 4.6 against PalmReadings's 1.0. Word Falls also leads on ratings volume (353 vs 2) and review sentiment (84% vs 63%). PalmReadings's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Word Falls holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Word Falls has 353 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

PalmReadings ships an update every 4 months, Word Falls every 3 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
