Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Smash Bricks! at none against The Orb's 3. Smash Bricks! also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). The Orb's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 4 days). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
