Verdict
The clearest difference is price: NBBOSS at Free against Shadowrocket's $2.99. NBBOSS also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 58%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.5). Shadowrocket's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 11) and ratings volume (12K vs 3). On update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
