Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: ShirSense at none against LyricsForMe's shown. ShirSense also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). LyricsForMe's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
