Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Polygon Art at 3.7 against Shapical's 3.0. Shapical's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 8 months). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Polygon Art holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 3.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 6 and 6 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of Polygon Art's written reviews are positive against 50% of Shapical's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
