Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Color Merge at none against OCO's shown. Color Merge also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 73%) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 15.0). OCO's advantage is ratings volume (2.4K vs 6). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. OCO sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and Color Merge sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Color Merge holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OCO has 2.4K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 73% of OCO's written reviews are positive against 100% of Color Merge's.
