Verdict
Tally and Record Tracker both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Record Tracker's written reviews are positive against 61% of Tally's. Record Tracker also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.5). Tally's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (1.8K vs 13). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Tally against 4.8 for Record Tracker.
