Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Candy Splash Match at none against Automatoys's 3. Candy Splash Match also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Automatoys's advantage is update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
