Both are free to download. Shape Rhythm sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Fault asks for nothing beyond the download.
Shape Rhythm holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 94 and 195 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of Fault's written reviews are positive against 48% of Shape Rhythm's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
