Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Gilly Connect at none against Shape Jam's shown. Gilly Connect also leads on ratings volume (14 vs 1) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Shape Jam's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 8 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
