Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Tinytyke App at 100% against Yale Access's 41%. Tinytyke App also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Yale Access's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (77K vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Yale Access holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Yale Access has 77K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 41% of Yale Access's written reviews are positive against 100% of Tinytyke App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
