Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Word Master at none against Multiplayer Board Games's 4. Word Master also leads on review sentiment (77% vs 49%) and ratings volume (19K vs 2K). Multiplayer Board Games's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 months). On price, rating, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
