Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Block Drop 3D! at none against The Pads Game's 1. Block Drop 3D! also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 5 days). The Pads Game's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 12.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
