Consequence and TVTropes both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 83% of Consequence's written reviews are positive against 46% of TVTropes's. Consequence also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2). TVTropes's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (371 vs 9). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
