Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Home Dashboard Setup at none against Ticker Island's 1. Home Dashboard Setup also leads on ads (none vs shown). Ticker Island's advantage is iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
