Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: TCN at 4.4 against VoiceStream's 2.2. TCN also leads on review sentiment (62% vs 40%) and ratings volume (172 vs 5). VoiceStream's advantage is monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (7.1 vs 15). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
