Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PhysicalMind Studio at none against The Tapping Solution's 12. PhysicalMind Studio also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). The Tapping Solution's advantage is ratings volume (24K vs 1) and chart position (#101 vs unranked). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
