Match Sweeper
Read full descriptionHide full description
Match Sweeper is a pair-matching game with a fresh twist. Find a pair. Match them by only dragging a tile onto its pair. A correct match uncovers all surrounding cells. The aim is to clear the board by removing all tile covers. Be strategic in choosing the blast site otherwise, you may end up with closed tiles. Enjoy.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Skill Lab at none against Match Sweeper's shown. Skill Lab also leads on iOS requirement (9.3 vs 12.0). Match Sweeper's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
