Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Tokyo Map Puzzle at 87% against Kana's 50%. Tokyo Map Puzzle also leads on update cadence (every 5 months vs every 16 months). Kana's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
