Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Forbidden Burger Co at none against Shoyu's 9. Forbidden Burger Co also leads on iOS requirement (13.6 vs 26.0). Shoyu's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 9 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
