Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: sugar (game) at 4.3 against sh's 3.6. sugar (game) also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (410 vs 36). sh's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
