Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Word Checker at none against Anagram Solver's shown. Word Checker also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 months) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Anagram Solver's advantage is ratings volume (4.1K vs 34). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
