The clearest difference is rating: Climb Knight at 4.6 against Shadow Trick's 4.0. Climb Knight also leads on review sentiment (84% vs 70%) and ratings volume (250 vs 32). Shadow Trick's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Shadow Trick sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Climb Knight sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
