Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Glowing Spheres at none against Tiled's 1. Glowing Spheres also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.0). Tiled's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 4.0) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
