Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TabKey at none against 1Extn's 1. TabKey also leads on chart position (#140 vs unranked) and price ($0.99 vs $1.99). 1Extn's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 7 months) and rating (4.5 vs 4.1). On review sentiment, ratings volume, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.

1Extn holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 9 and 21 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of TabKey's written reviews are positive against 60% of 1Extn's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
