Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Shape Rush at every 3 days against Galaxy Swirl's every 3 weeks. Shape Rush also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.5). Galaxy Swirl's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 89%) and ratings volume (59 vs 16). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Galaxy Swirl sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Shape Rush sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Shape Rush holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 59 and 16 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Galaxy Swirl's written reviews are positive against 89% of Shape Rush's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Galaxy Swirl ships an update every 3 weeks, Shape Rush every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on September 6, 2026 and June 4, 2026 respectively.
