Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TPAV at none against The Weekly Times's 2. TPAV also leads on iOS requirement (12 vs 16.0). The Weekly Times's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
