Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SquirrelView Mobile at none against shift's 1. SquirrelView Mobile also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 11 months). shift's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
