Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SWELL at none against Short Term Memory Test's 1. SWELL also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). Short Term Memory Test's advantage is update cadence (every 4 months vs every 35 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
