Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Tapagory at none against Cryptogram Nature Facts's 2. Tapagory also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 10 months). Cryptogram Nature Facts's advantage is ratings volume (240 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.6). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
