Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Ploposaurus at 5.0 against Time Machine's 4.5. Ploposaurus also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 5 months). Time Machine's advantage is ratings volume (4.5K vs 3) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
