Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Shape Defense at none against Mellow Blocks's 1. Shape Defense also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 6 weeks). Mellow Blocks's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.2). On price there is nothing between them.
