The clearest difference is ads: ThumbDash at none against Sand Shape's shown. ThumbDash also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Sand Shape's advantage is ratings volume (628 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
