Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Tournament Maker at Free against Round Robin's $0.99. Tournament Maker also leads on rating (4.2 vs 2.0) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 7 months). Round Robin's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 8) and chart position (#29 vs unranked). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
