Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Township at none against Goods Puzzle's shown. Township also leads on ratings volume (2.2M vs 185K) and chart position (#6 vs #48). Goods Puzzle's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
