Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: LectureWatch at none against TimeTide's 1. LectureWatch also leads on ads (none vs shown). TimeTide's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
