Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TicTacTrix at none against Flow Free's 10. TicTacTrix also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Flow Free's advantage is ratings volume (407K vs 1) and chart position (#44 vs unranked). On price there is nothing between them.
