Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Ratels at 2.9 against TZLink's 2.0. Ratels also leads on update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (60 vs 6). TZLink's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 40%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Ratels holds the better App Store score, 2.9 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ratels has 60 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of TZLink's written reviews are positive against 40% of Ratels's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
TZLink ships an update every 2 months, Ratels every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
