The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: MathSweeper at 100% against The Army's 30%. MathSweeper also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). The Army's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (4.4K vs 5). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
