Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CloseTheBox at none against Peggity's 1. CloseTheBox also leads on ratings volume (3.8K vs 4). Peggity's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 8 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
