Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Shoppers at 4.8 against EzWIC's 4.2. Shoppers also leads on ratings volume (1.6K vs 167) and review sentiment (60% vs 48%). EzWIC's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
