Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: ConunDrumz at none against Dots and Boxes's shown. ConunDrumz also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 5 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Dots and Boxes's advantage is ratings volume (14K vs 3) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.6). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
