Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Game XO at none against Spell Circle Run's 15. Game XO also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks). Spell Circle Run's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 26.2). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
