Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Lovebird at Free against Tip's $0.99. Lovebird also leads on ratings volume (1.4K vs 9) and rating (4.9 vs 4.6). Tip's advantage is update cadence (every 11 days vs every 3 months). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
