Slagalica je zabavan kviz na Radio-televiziji Srbije (RTS) Sastoji se od šest igara: Slagalica, Moj broj, Spojnice, Skočko, Ko Zna Zna, Asocijacije Ispravnost svake unete reči u igri Slagalica se automatski proverava i ukoliko je reč pronađena u našem rečniku, ona se priznaje. Vlastite imenice ljudi se ne prihvataju. Nažalost, zbog velikog broja različitih oblika reči u srpskom jeziku, nekada se ne priznaju reči koje su gramatički ispravne. Vremenom će kvalitet rečnika biti sve bolji. --- Application is in Serbian language.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Brainster at 4.6 against Slagalica's 1.3. Brainster also leads on review sentiment (51% vs 23%) and ratings volume (161 vs 3). Slagalica's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
