Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Shuffle Photos at 4.6 against iDigiFrame's 3.9. Shuffle Photos also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 21 months) and ratings volume (346 vs 7). iDigiFrame's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.3 vs 13.0). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
