Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Time Machine at 4.5 against Timeline's 3.0. Time Machine also leads on ratings volume (11 vs 2). Timeline's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Time Machine sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per month and Timeline sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Time Machine holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Time Machine has 11 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
