Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Teaspoon Rewards at 4.8 against Olyns's 3.8. Teaspoon Rewards also leads on review sentiment (42% vs 21%) and ratings volume (5.6K vs 406). Olyns's advantage is monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (12.4 vs 16.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
