Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Word Vision at 100% against Wordly®'s 63%. Word Vision also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 16.6). Wordly®'s advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (6.1K vs 7). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Wordly® sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Word Vision sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Wordly® holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wordly® has 6.1K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Wordly®'s written reviews are positive against 100% of Word Vision's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
