Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Word Scramble™ at none against WordHub's 13. Word Scramble™ also leads on ratings volume (2K vs 99). WordHub's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months). On price, rating, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
