Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Tape at 100% against Tabyt's 0%. Tape also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and ratings volume (61 vs 8). Tabyt's advantage is monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
