Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: ShiftCal at none against Shiftify's shown. ShiftCal also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). Shiftify's advantage is ratings volume (457 vs 8) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
