Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TonalToolbox at none against TrueLevel's 1. TonalToolbox also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs monthly) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.6). TrueLevel's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
