Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Ancient island at none against Astro Shock Zero's shown. Ancient island also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.1). Astro Shock Zero's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 7 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
