Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Findy at none against Tracking Device Detector's shown. Findy also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). Tracking Device Detector's advantage is ratings volume (150 vs 14). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
