Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Medallion at 4.4 against Salt Shed's 2.3. Medallion also leads on review sentiment (37% vs 0%) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 4 months). Salt Shed's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
