Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Root Growth at none against TerraCards's 3. Root Growth also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). TerraCards's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs monthly). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
