Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: pOpshelf at 4.8 against PerkSpot's 3.0. pOpshelf also leads on ratings volume (18K vs 109). PerkSpot's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
