Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: American Trust PartnerLens at none against SHRM Certification's shown. American Trust PartnerLens also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 6 months) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). SHRM Certification's advantage is ratings volume (2.7K vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
