Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Wordism at none against Alpha Omega's 10. Wordism also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.5). Alpha Omega's advantage is ratings volume (5.7K vs 3) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
