The clearest difference is monetization model: Shaft Run at free with in-app purchases against Pizza Force's subscription. Shaft Run also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5). Pizza Force's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
