Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Daf++ at 100% against Shas Illuminated's 57%. Daf++ also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). Shas Illuminated's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 3.5) and ratings volume (32 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Shas Illuminated holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Shas Illuminated has 32 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Shas Illuminated's written reviews are positive against 100% of Daf++'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
