Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Shoe Carnival at none against Crocs's shown. Shoe Carnival also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Crocs's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (25% vs 11%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
