Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: AkeySpace at 5.0 against TIM's 1.9. AkeySpace also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). TIM's advantage is ratings volume (731 vs 5). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
