Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Shiftogram at none against Puzzlit's 10. Shiftogram also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Puzzlit's advantage is ratings volume (2.4K vs 7) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
