Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pureist at none against Shot Pattern's 8. Pureist also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (16.6 vs 18.0). Shot Pattern's advantage is ratings volume (2.1K vs 1) and chart position (#102 vs unranked). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
