Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Squares* at none against Room and a Half's 12. Squares* also leads on ads (none vs shown). Room and a Half's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 19 months) and ratings volume (1.9K vs 4). On price, rating, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
