Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Rainbow Shops at 73% against T.J.Maxx's 5%. Rainbow Shops also leads on rating (4.9 vs 2.5) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). T.J.Maxx's advantage is chart position (#85 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
