Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TATEditor at none against SS Writer's 1. TATEditor also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). SS Writer's advantage is review sentiment (77% vs 67%). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
