Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Twenty at Free against Threes!'s $5.99. Twenty also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.0) and review sentiment (91% vs 79%). Threes!'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
