Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Streamburg at none against The Magic Shell!'s 5. Streamburg also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 10 months). The Magic Shell!'s advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
