Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Crowns Keeper at 5.0 against Talking Score Keeper's 4.3. Crowns Keeper also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 35 months). Talking Score Keeper's advantage is ratings volume (19 vs 1) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.6). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
