Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Tap When at 5.0 against Hat Picker's 3.8. Tap When also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 64%) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 weeks). Hat Picker's advantage is ratings volume (29 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
