Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: TBR at 4.5 against Dayvlog's 3.9. TBR also leads on review sentiment (71% vs 43%) and ratings volume (4.4K vs 41). Dayvlog's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs weekly). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
