Tap Pointer is designed for product demos, app walkthroughs, bug reports, training clips, and support videos.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Tap Pointer at none against Phone Touch Test's shown. Tap Pointer also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
