Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Shabbat.com at none against Mishkan's 12. Shabbat.com also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.6). Mishkan's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 80%) and update cadence (weekly vs every 4 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
