Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Minesweeper NEXT at none against ComboMerge's 1. Minesweeper NEXT also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months). ComboMerge's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
