The clearest difference is price: TheSlowWeb at Free against DateGlance's $0.99. TheSlowWeb also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months). DateGlance's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 3.3) and review sentiment (70% vs 50%). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
