Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: GoShell at none against MobileCoderApp's 2. GoShell also leads on device support (4 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). MobileCoderApp's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 10 months) and chart position (#199 vs unranked). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
