Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Match Symbols at 100% against Koob's 60%. Match Symbols also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 6 weeks). Koob's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
