Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Pacey's Word Games at none against Alpha's shown. Pacey's Word Games also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs monthly). Alpha's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
