Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TimeLapse at none against Timelapse Cam's 2. TimeLapse also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). Timelapse Cam's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.1). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
