Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Frequency at weekly against 6 takes!'s every 6 months. Frequency also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and price ($0.99 vs $1.99). 6 takes!'s advantage is ratings volume (29 vs 2) and chart position (#63 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
