Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Technicode at none against SQLed's 1. Technicode also leads on price ($0.99 vs $1.99). SQLed's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 8 months) and chart position (#62 vs unranked). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
