Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pegma at none against Short Circuits's 3. Pegma also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 15 months). Short Circuits's advantage is ratings volume (54 vs 2) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
