Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Enigma Express at none against Captain Nemo's shown. Enigma Express also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 22 months) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.4). Captain Nemo's advantage is ratings volume (3.6K vs 804). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
