Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Word Sling! at none against BrickRock's 1. Word Sling! also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). BrickRock's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 25 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
