Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TierCreator at none against Time's 1. TierCreator also leads on review sentiment (87% vs 69%) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks). Time's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
