Verdict
The clearest difference is price: A车联 at Free against Shadowrocket's $2.99. A车联 also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). Shadowrocket's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 4 months) and chart position (#1 vs unranked). On ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
