Match Sweeper is a pair-matching game with a fresh twist. Find a pair. Match them by only dragging a tile onto its pair. A correct match uncovers all surrounding cells.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Core Ball at none against Match Sweeper's shown. Match Sweeper's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
