Two notes on wording choices: βverfliesen" I translated as βlay tiles" rather than the more literal βtile" β App Store copy reads more naturally as a verb phrase this way, and the second headline keeps βlay tiles automatically". βMit einem einmaligen Kauf" says removes ads permanently, not a subscription. That wording matters legally and for user expectations, so I kept it unambiguous rather than softening it to βremove ads".

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: TileCount at none against TilePlanner's shown. TilePlanner's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
