Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: AR TCG at 5.0 against Runeverse's 4.1. AR TCG also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 7). Runeverse's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs monthly). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
