Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Grouper at 5.0 against Tally's 4.4. Grouper also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 12) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 2 months). Tally's advantage is ratings volume (4.1K vs 1). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
