Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Stepwise Go at none against Shaolin Online's 3. Stepwise Go also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 months). Shaolin Online's advantage is iOS requirement (15.6 vs 26.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
