Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Homophone at none against Word Association!'s 10. Homophone also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.0). Word Association!'s advantage is update cadence (every 4 months vs every 35 months) and ratings volume (8.2K vs 68). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.
