Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Bold Attack at Free against ShellShock Live's $4.99. Bold Attack also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.0) and update cadence (daily vs every 4 days). ShellShock Live's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 15) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.
