Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Cryptogram at none against Tile Connect's shown. Cryptogram also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.0). Tile Connect's advantage is update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 4 months). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
