Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: EasyMQTT at 3.5 against TCP's 3.0. EasyMQTT also leads on ratings volume (36 vs 6). TCP's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and review sentiment (60% vs 27%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. EasyMQTT sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 3 months. TCP asks for nothing beyond the download.
EasyMQTT holds the better App Store score, 3.5 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EasyMQTT has 36 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of TCP's written reviews are positive against 27% of EasyMQTT's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
