Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: TimTalk at 100% against InmateSales's 16%. TimTalk also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.4). InmateSales's advantage is ratings volume (242 vs 1) and chart position (#117 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
