Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Shadow Blaster at 5.0 against ODIN's 4.1. Shadow Blaster also leads on update cadence (weekly vs monthly). ODIN's advantage is ratings volume (1.4K vs 1) and chart position (#195 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
