Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: ColorSwitch! at 74% against Tic's 29%. ColorSwitch! also leads on rating (4.5 vs 2.9) and ratings volume (4K vs 15). Tic's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
