Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: ShuttleBattle at none against Spooktober's shown. ShuttleBattle also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (13.1 vs 26.0). Spooktober's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 36 months). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
