Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Shamba Training at every 5 weeks against BLK BOX's every 7 months. Shamba Training also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). BLK BOX's advantage is ratings volume (30 vs 6) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
