Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: 2048 plus at none against 2048's shown. 2048 plus also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (849 vs 59). 2048's advantage is review sentiment (90% vs 74%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 2048 plus sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and 2048 sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
