Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Fatsoma at every 3 weeks against Shoobs's every 8 months. Shoobs's advantage is review sentiment (71% vs 41%) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
