Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Passtime App at none against CineShelf's shown. Passtime App also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 2 months). CineShelf's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
