Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Puzzle Wizards at none against Seabeard's shown. Puzzle Wizards also leads on review sentiment (87% vs 72%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Seabeard's advantage is ratings volume (3.2K vs 123) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
