Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Recycle Fish at 5.0 against MechShift's 1.0. Recycle Fish also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (9 vs 1). MechShift's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
