Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: OpenShell at none against AgentAura's 2. OpenShell also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 months). AgentAura's advantage is device support (5 vs 2) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
