Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Indie Tracker at none against Shelly's 1. Indie Tracker also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 months). Shelly's advantage is chart position (#76 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
