Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: 词会 at free against Shadowing Lab's subscription. 词会 also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). Shadowing Lab's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
