Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Pocket Frogs at 4.4 against Shadow Frog's 3.9. Pocket Frogs also leads on ratings volume (3.1K vs 55) and chart position (#81 vs unranked). Shadow Frog's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
