Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Re at 100% against Tumbletail's 62%. Re also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 2 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Tumbletail's advantage is monetization model (free vs paid) and ratings volume (216 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and chart position there is nothing between them.
