Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Time Control! at Free against Obscured's $0.99. Time Control! also leads on update cadence (every 3 months vs every 37 months). Obscured's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
