Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Memory at 4.6 against Sliding Puzzle's 3.7. Memory also leads on update cadence (every 11 days vs every 15 months) and ratings volume (10K vs 3). Sliding Puzzle's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
