Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Expo Go at none against ShotPolish's 2. Expo Go also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and chart position (#8 vs unranked). ShotPolish's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
