Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: TMZ at 62% against FEED Mobile's 21%. TMZ also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (213K vs 17K). FEED Mobile's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and chart position there is nothing between them.
