Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Tether Co at none against Brushstroke's 16. Tether Co also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs monthly) and review sentiment (100% vs 80%). Brushstroke's advantage is ratings volume (14K vs 12) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
