Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Plotquist at none against WordBrain's 11. Plotquist also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). WordBrain's advantage is chart position (#100 vs unranked) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
