Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Translingo 103 at Free against Tagalog PhraseBook's $4.99. Translingo 103 also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 40 months). Tagalog PhraseBook's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.
