Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Five at 87% against Collapse! Blast's 42%. Five also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.1) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). Collapse! Blast's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.6K vs 57). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
