Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: TTLock at 2.8 against eSmartLock's 2.3. TTLock also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). eSmartLock's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
