The clearest difference is monetization model: Bidon at free against TracerBuddy's free with in-app purchases. Bidon also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bidon sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and TracerBuddy sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
