Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Capitals at none against Color Match's 1. Capitals also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 39 months). Color Match's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and review sentiment (100% vs 74%). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
