Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Tiny Till at 100% against Artificer's 31%. Tiny Till also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.3) and in-app purchases (none vs 10). Artificer's advantage is price (Free vs $1.99) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 10 months). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
