Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Emirates at 4.5 against TimaCheck's 3.0. Emirates also leads on ratings volume (9.8K vs 2) and chart position (#163 vs unranked). TimaCheck's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
