Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 2048 at none against 2048's 7. 2048 also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (80% vs 49%). 2048's advantage is ratings volume (38K vs 15) and rating (4.4 vs 4.2). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 2048 sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. 2048 asks for nothing beyond the download.
2048 holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 2048 has 38K ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 49% of 2048's written reviews are positive against 80% of 2048's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
