The clearest difference is update cadence: SpellTower Nederlands at every 6 days against Word Master's every 2 months. SpellTower Nederlands also leads on price ($2.99 vs $4.99) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 15.0). Word Master's advantage is ratings volume (4K vs 1) and chart position (#26 vs unranked). On rating, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
