Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Anagram Solver at 89% against Cryptogram's 0%. Anagram Solver also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (4.1K vs 102). Cryptogram's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
