Select a quest, and a rotating gear will appear in the upper left. Connect the gears on the right to the rotating gear to clear the quest. You can place gears freely in any position. Multiple quests are available, and you can play them in any order. Cleared quests can also be replayed as many times as you like.

Verdict
Build Up!! and Gear combination are too close to call on the numbers: across 6 compared parameters — price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases among them — neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
