The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Shelfless at none against Book End's 3. Shelfless also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and review sentiment (100% vs 85%). Book End's advantage is ratings volume (21 vs 1). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Book End sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Shelfless asks for nothing beyond the download.

Shelfless holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6.
