Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Cocoa Stack at none against Fallout Shelter's 10. Cocoa Stack also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Fallout Shelter's advantage is ratings volume (567K vs 1) and chart position (#33 vs unranked). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
