Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Shoe Carnival at none against Kids Foot Locker's shown. Shoe Carnival also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and device support (3 vs 1). Kids Foot Locker's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and ratings volume there is nothing between them.
