Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: CallYou at 4.4 against TEL3's 1.6. CallYou also leads on review sentiment (14% vs 2%). TEL3's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CallYou sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. TEL3 asks for nothing beyond the download.
CallYou holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 1.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TEL3 has 87 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 2% of TEL3's written reviews are positive against 14% of CallYou's.
