Verdict
The clearest difference is price: TycheTools Lens at Free against TimeGlance's $0.99. TycheTools Lens also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). TimeGlance's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 11 days) and chart position (#70 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
