Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Three Things! at none against Balloon Crush's 4. Three Things! also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs every 2 months). Balloon Crush's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.0). On price there is nothing between them.
