Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: ColorCeption at none against 2048's shown. ColorCeption also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 73%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). 2048's advantage is update cadence (every 5 months vs every 79 months) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
