Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: ColorCeption at 100% against Snappy Word Search's 63%. ColorCeption also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Snappy Word Search's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 79 months) and ratings volume (2K vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
