Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Category Game at none against Word Blitz ･'s 15. Category Game also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Word Blitz ･'s advantage is ratings volume (45K vs 1) and chart position (#147 vs unranked). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
