Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Tippy at 4.6 against eTip.io's 4.0. Tippy also leads on ratings volume (903 vs 106). eTip.io's advantage is review sentiment (73% vs 65%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Tippy holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tippy has 903 ratings behind it against 106, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Tippy's written reviews are positive against 73% of eTip.io's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Tippy ships an update every 3 weeks, eTip.io fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
