Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Shoot The Moon at Free against Bombing Defender's $0.99. Shoot The Moon also leads on update cadence (every 3 months vs every 12 months). Bombing Defender's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). On device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
