Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: CallDetector at 100% against Shadow PC's 45%. CallDetector also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.7). Shadow PC's advantage is ratings volume (1.9K vs 6) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 7 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
