Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: TableTime at 5.0 against 8it's 4.5. TableTime also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 83%) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). 8it's advantage is ratings volume (208 vs 8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
