Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TipBuddy at none against Tipping++'s 1. TipBuddy also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 17 months). Tipping++'s advantage is ratings volume (105 vs 6) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 16.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
