Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Saqsi at none against The Da Vinci Cryptex's 3. Saqsi also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). The Da Vinci Cryptex's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
