Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: TalentLMS at 77% against Open's 19%. TalentLMS also leads on rating (4.8 vs 2.6) and ratings volume (7.9K vs 84). Open's advantage is monetization model (free vs freemium) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
