Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: TagTally at 100% against Brainway's 15%. TagTally also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.1). Brainway's advantage is ratings volume (1.7K vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
