Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: nLights at none against TipEase Calculator's 2. nLights also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (14.3 vs 18.5). TipEase Calculator's advantage is update cadence (every 11 days vs monthly). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
