Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 老王VPN at none against ShadowShare's 3. 老王VPN also leads on review sentiment (86% vs 63%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). ShadowShare's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
