Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: TigersecuHDViewer2 at 3.3 against HomeSafe View's 2.6. TigersecuHDViewer2 also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 11.0). HomeSafe View's advantage is ratings volume (1.1K vs 11) and review sentiment (11% vs 0%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
TigersecuHDViewer2 holds the better App Store score, 3.3 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HomeSafe View has 1.1K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 11% of HomeSafe View's written reviews are positive against 0% of TigersecuHDViewer2's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
