Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TermLoop Mobile at none against tmuxonwatch's 1. TermLoop Mobile also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). tmuxonwatch's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
