Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: AdoptaShadchan at 100% against JWed's 13%. AdoptaShadchan also leads on rating (4.7 vs 2.1) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). JWed's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (55 vs 7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. JWed sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and AdoptaShadchan sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $40.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
AdoptaShadchan holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: JWed has 55 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 13% of JWed's written reviews are positive against 100% of AdoptaShadchan's.
JWed ships an update every 2 weeks, AdoptaShadchan every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 8, 2026 respectively.
