The clearest difference is review sentiment: Shan at 100% against Bluma's 36%. Shan also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Bluma's advantage is ratings volume (454 vs 2) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
