Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Silora at Free against Shadowrocket's $2.99. Silora also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 57%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.5). Shadowrocket's advantage is ratings volume (12K vs 1) and chart position (#1 vs unranked). On ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
