Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Han4ABC at none against Thirukkural's 1. Han4ABC also leads on device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). Thirukkural's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). On price there is nothing between them.
