Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: The Code Cracker at none against Tic Tac Toe's shown. The Code Cracker also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 4 months). Tic Tac Toe's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
