Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: RepeaterBook at 67% against SHOT Show Mobile's 8%. RepeaterBook also leads on rating (4.2 vs 2.8) and ads (none vs shown). SHOT Show Mobile's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
