Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Tipium at none against GlobeTips's shown. Tipium also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months). GlobeTips's advantage is ratings volume (663 vs 47) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
