Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: iTip at none against Tip Calculator's 2. iTip also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 9 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Tip Calculator's advantage is ratings volume (8 vs 1). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
