Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: YardSmart at 100% against T.J.Maxx's 5%. YardSmart also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.5) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). T.J.Maxx's advantage is ratings volume (4.1K vs 2) and chart position (#87 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
