Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Bookshelf at 80K against Home pro 360's 1. Bookshelf also leads on chart position (#137 vs unranked). Home pro 360's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
