Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Konstella at every 2 days against Tinytown's every 3 weeks. Konstella also leads on ratings volume (1.4K vs 6). Tinytown's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
