Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Sherwin at 4.7 against Solar Optimum App's 3.0. Sherwin also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 37 months) and ratings volume (14K vs 2). Solar Optimum App's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
