Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Hell Gun at 100% against Ship Up's 50%. Hell Gun also leads on rating (4.7 vs 2.5) and update cadence (every 5 months vs every 48 months). Ship Up's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
