Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Thirukkural Genius at monthly against Hindu Libraries's every 11 months. Thirukkural Genius also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). Hindu Libraries's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
