Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Minesweeper at none against 4D Minesweeper's shown. Minesweeper also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). 4D Minesweeper's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
