Root Down is an original abstract strategy game designed by Martin Grider for 2-players. It's rules about which pieces you can move are a little quirky, but once you figure it out, it's very quick to play, and has some interesting gameplay mechanics. In Root Down, you have two types of pieces. There are "kicker" pieces that must be next to a "root" piece to move. (Root pieces cannot move.) Kickers can only move exactly as far as the number of kickers next to the root. After a kicker moves, it "kicks" all of the neighboring pieces, then settles down into a new "root" piece. If you kick one of your own root pieces, it becomes another "kicker"! Kicking an opponent's root does the same, and if you kick it again before it has a chance to move, you'll to capture it! The game features an AI player, as well as pass-and-play options. There are several variable setups to chose from. Each one plays slightly different.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Root Down at 100% against Number+'s 75%. Number+'s advantage is rating (4.3 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (20 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Number+ holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Number+ has 20 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Root Down's written reviews are positive against 75% of Number+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
