Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Tiny Step at none against Spite & Malice's shown. Tiny Step also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.6). Spite & Malice's advantage is ratings volume (10K vs 17) and review sentiment (69% vs 50%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
