Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Match Attack at Free against Shredball's $0.99. Match Attack also leads on ratings volume (19 vs 6) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). Shredball's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.
