Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Poly 2 at none against Tize's shown. Poly 2 also leads on review sentiment (84% vs 53%) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). Tize's advantage is ratings volume (16K vs 697) and iOS requirement (13.6 vs 16.6). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
