Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Illuzien at none against Trimmr's 6. Illuzien also leads on ratings volume (893 vs 3). Trimmr's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
