Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: TLS Inspector at 4.8 against HTTPS4All's 4.3. TLS Inspector also leads on ratings volume (256 vs 26). HTTPS4All's advantage is iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
TLS Inspector holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TLS Inspector has 256 ratings behind it against 26, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of TLS Inspector's written reviews are positive against 88% of HTTPS4All's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
