Both are free to download. Adventure Llama sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Shadow Trick sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Adventure Llama holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 54 and 34 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of Adventure Llama's written reviews are positive against 68% of Shadow Trick's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
