Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Empty Vase at none against CB2's shown. Empty Vase also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and device support (3 vs 1). CB2's advantage is ratings volume (844 vs 1). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
