Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Shellora at free against DevTools+'s freemium. Shellora also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 11 days). DevTools+'s advantage is chart position (#199 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
