Setle is the card game of pattern-spotting. Every card carries four features — number, shape, shading, and color. Three cards make a match when each feature is all the same or all different across them. Easy to learn in a minute. Much harder to see quickly. Four ways to play: Classic — Work through the whole deck. The clock counts up, and your best time is the score to beat. Daily Puzzle — Ninety seconds on the same deck everyone else gets that day. Share how you did and compete with your friends! Sprint — Ninety seconds & a fresh shuffle. Two Player — Lay down the device and face off head-to-head! Play Setle each day to sharpen your brain!

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Setle at none against Once Upon a Galaxy's 10. Setle also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly) and review sentiment (100% vs 83%). Once Upon a Galaxy's advantage is ratings volume (1.4K vs 9) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.6). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
