Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ASIAIR at 3.8 against TinyScope's 2.1. ASIAIR also leads on review sentiment (52% vs 23%) and ratings volume (244 vs 20). TinyScope's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 13.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
