Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Neutralize + at Free against Threes!'s $5.99. Neutralize + also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 79%) and rating (4.2 vs 4.0). Threes!'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (3K vs 5). On update cadence, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
