Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ShelfSense at 5.0 against FMNP's 2.9. ShelfSense also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 28 months). FMNP's advantage is ratings volume (8 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
