Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: 8bit 2048 at 5.0 against WORLD 1's 4.3. 8bit 2048 also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 84%). WORLD 1's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (monthly vs every 10 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
