Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TitanWire at none against Tide Charts's 1. TitanWire also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs every 3 weeks). Tide Charts's advantage is chart position (#43 vs unranked) and device support (4 vs 2). On price there is nothing between them.
