Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: When We Were Young at 2.9 against Thingvellir's 2.0. When We Were Young also leads on review sentiment (41% vs 0%) and update cadence (every 12 months vs every 86 months). Thingvellir's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
