Verdict

The call

Scheels and SHIFT both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of SHIFT's written reviews are positive against 59% of Scheels's. Scheels's advantage is ratings volume (14K vs 31) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
