Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Shadow Market at none against Capital Fun!'s shown. Shadow Market also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). Capital Fun!'s advantage is ratings volume (237 vs 5) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
