Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Studios Tour at 100% against Disney D23's 13%. Studios Tour also leads on rating (4.6 vs 3.1) and ads (none vs shown). Disney D23's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 9 months) and ratings volume (94 vs 9). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
