Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: HorizonQuest at none against Match Attack's 1. HorizonQuest also leads on ads (none vs shown). Match Attack's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.2). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
