Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ShoreStation at 5.0 against Lift Tech's 2.4. ShoreStation also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 10 months). Lift Tech's advantage is ratings volume (27 vs 2) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 13.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
