Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ShawNow at 3.7 against LATICRETE Mobile's 1.8. ShawNow also leads on ratings volume (18 vs 6) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). LATICRETE Mobile's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
