Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: NSTimer at free against ReturnRadar's paid. NSTimer also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 17.0). ReturnRadar's advantage is update cadence (daily vs fortnightly). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
