Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Communiful at none against Timeleft's 3. Communiful also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Timeleft's advantage is ratings volume (9K vs 3) and update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
