Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Turtle at 100% against Word Block's 43%. Turtle also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). Word Block's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
