Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Word Tigers at none against Alpha Omega's shown. Word Tigers also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 2 days vs monthly). Alpha Omega's advantage is ratings volume (5.7K vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.5 vs 15.1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
