Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Shibogama at none against G1 Simulator & Study Guide's 1. Shibogama also leads on ads (none vs shown). G1 Simulator & Study Guide's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 16 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
