Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Category Match! at none against Numfuzzle's 3. Category Match! also leads on update cadence (daily vs weekly) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). Numfuzzle's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
