The clearest difference is ads: A Needle Pulling Thread at none against Who Called Me's shown. A Needle Pulling Thread also leads on rating (4.3 vs 3.9) and iOS requirement (11.2 vs 13.0). Who Called Me's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 13 months) and review sentiment (83% vs 70%). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
