Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: WordBoard at 4.9 against Timr's 4.5. WordBoard also leads on review sentiment (77% vs 57%) and ratings volume (5.6K vs 176). Timr's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
