Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ShelfApp at none against Habit Tracker's 1. ShelfApp also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Habit Tracker's advantage is ratings volume (37 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
