Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Travel Shopping Buddy at none against Hangul Study's shown. Travel Shopping Buddy also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 7 months) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
