Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DotMaker Studio at none against Tile Studio's 1. DotMaker Studio also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Tile Studio's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
