Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Temp Blanket at every 2 months against Crochet Now's every 23 months. Temp Blanket also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Crochet Now's advantage is ratings volume (40 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
