Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: AusterMessaging at none against Time's 6. AusterMessaging also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). Time's advantage is iOS requirement (15.6 vs 26.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
