Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Shape at none against Market Stack's 1. Shape also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 16.0). Market Stack's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
