Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SharkClean at none against Fach's 2. SharkClean also leads on ratings volume (504K vs 1) and chart position (#75 vs unranked). Fach's advantage is update cadence (daily vs fortnightly) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
