Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: 3Natives at 73% against TacoTime's 12%. 3Natives also leads on rating (4.9 vs 1.8) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months). TacoTime's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
