Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Go Boom! at Free against Hearts Plus's $2.99. Go Boom! also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 4 months). Hearts Plus's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.
