Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Flashcard Blocker at 100% against Widget Vocabulary's 40%. Flashcard Blocker also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Widget Vocabulary's advantage is ratings volume (470 vs 4) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
