Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SwitchMap+ at none against Tikus's 10. SwitchMap+ also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 16.4). Tikus's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
