Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Minesweeper.org at none against Minesweeper's 1. Minesweeper.org also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 62 months). Minesweeper's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
