The clearest difference is rating: tin at 4.1 against MUNIVERSE.'s 2.4. tin also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 22) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). MUNIVERSE.'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (76% vs 65%). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
