Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: 2048º at 5.0 against ^2048's 4.3. 2048º also leads on update cadence (every 17 months vs every 35 months). ^2048's advantage is ratings volume (14 vs 1) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 14.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
