Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Shutter Trail at 5.0 against XbotGo's 4.5. Shutter Trail also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly). XbotGo's advantage is ratings volume (1.5K vs 2) and chart position (#160 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
