Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Tap Happy at freemium against The Tapping Solution's subscription. Tap Happy also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 85%). The Tapping Solution's advantage is ratings volume (24K vs 2) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Tapping Solution sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Tap Happy sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
