Verdict
The clearest difference is price: AstroShark at Free against Doodle Army's $1.99. AstroShark also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 8 days vs monthly). Doodle Army's advantage is ratings volume (1.5K vs 6) and chart position (#76 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
