Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Spotter at Free against Tumbletail's $1.99. Spotter also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 62%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.6). Tumbletail's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months) and chart position (#70 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
