Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Threes! at 79% against twofold inc.'s 42%. Threes! also leads on chart position (#21 vs unranked) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks). twofold inc.'s advantage is rating (4.3 vs 4.0) and price ($3.99 vs $5.99). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
