The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Synonymaze at none against Spark's 14. Synonymaze also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.2 vs 16.0). Spark's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months) and chart position (#147 vs unranked). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
