Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: 2048 Circle Blast at none against Rect Puzzle's shown. 2048 Circle Blast also leads on ratings volume (940 vs 1) and iOS requirement (10.3 vs 15.6). Rect Puzzle's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
