Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Tip Tracker & Log at none against ServerLife's shown. Tip Tracker & Log also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks) and review sentiment (100% vs 80%). ServerLife's advantage is ratings volume (9.4K vs 5) and chart position (#50 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
