Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Speedruns browser at 100% against TVTropes's 46%. Speedruns browser also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). TVTropes's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (379 vs 15). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
