Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Thermo King Notify at 5.0 against Shipwell's 4.5. Thermo King Notify also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 16.4). Shipwell's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 8 months) and ratings volume (4.6K vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
