Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Tic Tac Tolly at 5.0 against ColorSwitch!'s 4.5. Tic Tac Tolly also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). ColorSwitch!'s advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 20 months) and ratings volume (4K vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
