Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Balls Quest at 100% against Ship Up's 50%. Balls Quest also leads on update cadence (every 3 months vs every 48 months). Ship Up's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
