Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Tylde at none against Design Makers's shown. Tylde also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Design Makers's advantage is ratings volume (1K vs 3) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
