Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TierCreator at none against CodePin's 1. TierCreator also leads on ratings volume (486 vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 9 days). CodePin's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (100% vs 86%). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
