Verdict
The clearest difference is price: TableEx at Free against MarbleLoops's $0.99. TableEx also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 31 months) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.0). MarbleLoops's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.
