Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Space at none against Dragon Shadow's shown. Space also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 24 months) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Dragon Shadow's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
