Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Square Heroes at 100% against Shadow Trick's 70%. Square Heroes also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 12.0). Shadow Trick's advantage is rating (4.0 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (32 vs 6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Square Heroes sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Shadow Trick sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Shadow Trick holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Shadow Trick has 32 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Square Heroes's written reviews are positive against 70% of Shadow Trick's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
