There are none.

R Studio is a separate product; it is a front end for R.  If your users 
want it, you'll need to install it separately.

Shiny is a package within R.  I don't think it requires R Studio, though 
they're by the same people and work together well.  The server is 
optional --- it will allow your users to make their Shiny applications 
available to others.  If your users want that, it's a separate install.  
The company that produced RStudio and Shiny also runs a service hosting 
Shiny applications; it's free for small demos, but you would pay for 
heavier use.
