Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Crates! at none against 2048+#'s 2. Crates! also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 79%). 2048+#'s advantage is ratings volume (2.6K vs 2) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, update cadence and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 2048+# sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Crates! asks for nothing beyond the download.
2048+# holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 2048+# has 2.6K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of 2048+#'s written reviews are positive against 100% of Crates!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
