Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Dacus Library Self at none against Sharks Pool's shown. Dacus Library Self also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Sharks Pool's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
