Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ION Orchard at 4.5 against TANGS's 3.7. ION Orchard also leads on review sentiment (70% vs 33%) and ratings volume (73 vs 3). TANGS's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
