Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Super 4096 at 4.6 against 2048's 2.0. Super 4096 also leads on ratings volume (438 vs 3). 2048's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 2048 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Super 4096 sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Super 4096 holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Super 4096 has 438 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of 2048's written reviews are positive against 63% of Super 4096's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

2048 ships an update every 5 weeks, Super 4096 every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
