Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Collector's Shop at none against Dota Forge's shown. Collector's Shop also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). Dota Forge's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
