Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Break The Bricks at none against Mars's 10. Break The Bricks also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Mars's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 28 months) and ratings volume (22K vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
