Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Tippas at none against Steader's shown. Tippas also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 75%) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Steader's advantage is ratings volume (10 vs 3). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
