Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Bashde at 20 against Shshuk's 1. Bashde also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). Shshuk's advantage is update cadence (every 9 months vs every 17 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
