Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Tessellate! at 4.7 against Flash Taps's 3.7. Tessellate! also leads on iOS requirement (7.0 vs 15.0). Flash Taps's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 47 months) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
