Verdict
The clearest difference is price: BatchResizer2 at Free against PhotoShrinker's $2.99. BatchResizer2 also leads on rating (4.3 vs 3.6) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 7 months). PhotoShrinker's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.
