Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Shape at none against Hex Line's 8. Shape also leads on rating (4.0 vs 3.8) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). Hex Line's advantage is ratings volume (11 vs 1) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 13.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
