Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: GitHub at 4.8 against Flows Shortcuts's 4.0. GitHub also leads on ratings volume (37K vs 2) and chart position (#2 vs unranked). Flows Shortcuts's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and review sentiment (80% vs 63%). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GitHub sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Flows Shortcuts asks for nothing beyond the download.
GitHub holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GitHub has 37K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of GitHub's written reviews are positive against 80% of Flows Shortcuts's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. Both last shipped on September 26, 2026.
