Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Petri at weekly against 2048+#'s every 2 months. Petri also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 79%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). 2048+#'s advantage is ratings volume (2.6K vs 34). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
