Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Shareworks at 10K against CVCU's 2. Shareworks also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 10 months). CVCU's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (43% vs 24%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CVCU holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Shareworks has 10K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
