Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Shape Defense at none against Forest Friends's 10. Shape Defense also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 days). Forest Friends's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.2). On price there is nothing between them.
