Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Tick Checker at none against ScanDex's shown. Tick Checker also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). ScanDex's advantage is ratings volume (46 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. ScanDex sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days and Tick Checker sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Tick Checker holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ScanDex has 46 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
