Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Shift at none against StrictlyBased's 1. Shift also leads on ads (none vs shown). StrictlyBased's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 7 months) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.6). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
