Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: ShipBao at none against MyLink My Zone's shown. ShipBao also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported). MyLink My Zone's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (26% vs 11%). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
