Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Challenge at Free against Boomshine Plus's $1.99. Challenge also leads on review sentiment (91% vs 50%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.5). Boomshine Plus's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#195 vs unranked). On update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
