Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: ТУР.ТВ at 86% against START's 35%. ТУР.ТВ also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.8) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). START's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (204 vs 7). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
