Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Shrobik World at 5.0 against The Dreadmill's 4.3. Shrobik World also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). The Dreadmill's advantage is ratings volume (390 vs 1) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
