Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Tempoclock at 100% against Swim.com's 42%. Tempoclock also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). Swim.com's advantage is ratings volume (1.1K vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
