Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Limn Audio Generator at Free against TimeLoop's $1.99. Limn Audio Generator also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 15 months). TimeLoop's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.6). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
