The clearest difference is rating: Shacharit at 3.0 against JWed's 2.1. Shacharit also leads on review sentiment (50% vs 13%) and in-app purchases (none vs 11). JWed's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (55 vs 2). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
