Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Gomoku Clan at 5.0 against 장기's 2.4. Gomoku Clan also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (82% vs 67%). 장기's advantage is ratings volume (46 vs 4) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
