Verdict
The clearest difference is price: BundleID Search at Free against Shortwave Guide's $8.99. BundleID Search also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). Shortwave Guide's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
