Twelves is a puzzle game in which the player slides colored squares around a board, trying to combine all twelve squares of each color.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ColorSwitch! at none against Twelves's 1. ColorSwitch! also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 20 months). Twelves's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 74%). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
