Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Time to event at none against Time Arrow's shown. Time to event also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). Time Arrow's advantage is ratings volume (88 vs 10) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
