Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Funky Maker at weekly against Shape Rhythm's every 7 months. Funky Maker also leads on review sentiment (66% vs 48%) and chart position (#101 vs unranked). Shape Rhythm's advantage is rating (4.2 vs 3.8) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Shape Rhythm holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 195 and 72 respectively.
