Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Shell at 4.8 against CONSOL3's 2.2. Shell also leads on ratings volume (88K vs 14) and chart position (#4 vs unranked). CONSOL3's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (22% vs 8%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Shell holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Shell has 88K ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 8% of Shell's written reviews are positive against 22% of CONSOL3's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Shell ships an update monthly, CONSOL3 every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
