Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: WP Project Manager at none against Shard's 3. WP Project Manager also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Shard's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs monthly). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
