Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: TLEX Flow at 100% against Pillow's 42%. TLEX Flow also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). Pillow's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 6 weeks) and chart position (#157 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
