Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: American Sitters at every 5 weeks against Oishii Tea's every 27 months. American Sitters also leads on review sentiment (20% vs 0%). Oishii Tea's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
