Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SHO at 3.7 against Funlux's 2.3. Funlux's advantage is ratings volume (336 vs 10) and review sentiment (16% vs 0%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Funlux sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and SHO sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
SHO holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Funlux has 336 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 16% of Funlux's written reviews are positive against 0% of SHO's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Funlux ships an update every 2 months, SHO every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on October 14, 2026.
