Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DesignPass at none against Tiny Cards's 1. DesignPass also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 5 weeks) and device support (3 vs 1). Tiny Cards's advantage is iOS requirement (18.0 vs 27.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
