Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: ROOBE at none against New Year Puzzles's shown. ROOBE also leads on update cadence (every 10 months vs every 25 months). New Year Puzzles's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.4). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
