Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Charon Express at none against Duckling Sort's 5. Charon Express also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Duckling Sort's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs every 9 days). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
