Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: The Shoeing Lab at none against Mr.Hoof's shown. The Shoeing Lab also leads on iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.4). Mr.Hoof's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 9 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
