Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DakshinaMurthy at none against Shiv Kavach's 1. DakshinaMurthy also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 44 months). Shiv Kavach's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 26.2). On price there is nothing between them.
