Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Turtle Reef Tap at none against Shake & Release's shown. Turtle Reef Tap also leads on iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.6). Shake & Release's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
