Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Tide Shift at none against DiceCalc's shown. Tide Shift also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and ratings volume (13 vs 3). DiceCalc's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
