Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Devil App Builder at every 2 weeks against ShaderMania's every 16 months. Devil App Builder also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.6). ShaderMania's advantage is monetization model (free vs freemium). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
