Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SwiftTip at 5.0 against Tipsy's 4.5. SwiftTip also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Tipsy's advantage is ratings volume (52 vs 1) and update cadence (every 4 months vs every 10 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
