Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Rummi Timer at none against Charades's 1. Rummi Timer also leads on ads (none vs shown). Charades's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 10 months) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.4). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
