Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Enigma Express at none against Time Trap's shown. Enigma Express also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 7 months) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.4). Time Trap's advantage is ratings volume (5.2K vs 804). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
