Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: tōmato at none against 8bit 2048's shown. tōmato also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 10 months) and ratings volume (13 vs 2). 8bit 2048's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
