Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Crossword Clue Solver at 84% against YuleLog's 22%. Crossword Clue Solver also leads on ratings volume (15K vs 126) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). YuleLog's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
