Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Animation Tester at 5.0 against Secure Terminal's 4.5. Animation Tester also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.1 vs 16.6). Secure Terminal's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 29 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
