Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Shadow Trick at 68% against Crunchyroll's 0%. Shadow Trick also leads on ratings volume (34 vs 2) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15). Crunchyroll's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.0) and monetization model (free vs freemium). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Crunchyroll holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Shadow Trick has 34 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Shadow Trick's written reviews are positive against 0% of Crunchyroll's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
