Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MineSweeper at none against Minesweeper's 6. MineSweeper also leads on ads (none vs shown). Minesweeper's advantage is ratings volume (467 vs 21) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.
