Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Pattern Prodigy at none against Genius Puzzles's shown. Pattern Prodigy also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 16.6). Genius Puzzles's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 15 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and ratings volume there is nothing between them.
