Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Dots Classic at none against Box Battle's 1. Dots Classic also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 26.0). Box Battle's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
