Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Avalar at none against Epic Shadow's shown. Avalar also leads on review sentiment (66% vs 36%). Epic Shadow's advantage is update cadence (every 11 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Avalar sells 30 one-off in-app purchases and Epic Shadow sells 25 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Epic Shadow holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 151 and 95 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of Avalar's written reviews are positive against 36% of Epic Shadow's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Avalar ships an update every 3 weeks, Epic Shadow every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
