Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Heypenny at 100% against Shareworks's 24%. Heypenny also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Shareworks's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ratings volume (10K vs 20). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
