Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ElegooKit at none against Seashell ID's 2. ElegooKit also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Seashell ID's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
