Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 2048 Blitz at none against 2048's 11. 2048 Blitz also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 86%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). 2048's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 100 months) and ratings volume (381 vs 21). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
