Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: String Art at every 2 weeks against Go Fish!'s every 3 months. String Art also leads on review sentiment (37% vs 22%). Go Fish!'s advantage is ratings volume (455K vs 26K) and chart position (#184 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Go Fish! sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and String Art sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Go Fish! against 4.6 for String Art. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Go Fish! has 455K ratings behind it against 26K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 22% of Go Fish!'s written reviews are positive against 37% of String Art's.
