Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: 4WORD at 100% against Sortdoku's 60%. 4WORD also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Sortdoku's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (18 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
