There is also devenv.sh, flox, and the venerable nixpkgs mkShell.
In terms of history, I believe devshell appeared second. To goal of devshell is to create a clean developer environment, typically aimed at larger repos where a lot of developer tooling is needed. It's the first one that introduced the Nix module system to configure the project.
I can't speak to the motivation and goal of the other project, but happy to host a comparison. I'm not a big believer of comparison matrices. Each project has a slight different angle and appear to various groups of users I believe.

The issue in the devenv repo states that devshell is in the process of being deprecated, i.e this issue from above: cachix/devenv#140 - is that correct @zimbatm ?

It would be nice to join forces. It's a bit too soon to deprecate it, but I would like to merge both eventually. When that happens I would also provide some sort of migration path.
