Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Oddflick at none against Timeless Archive's 1. Oddflick also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 5 weeks) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.2). Timeless Archive's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
