Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: TED Talks at 4.6 against eDraw's 2.6. TED Talks also leads on review sentiment (44% vs 14%) and ratings volume (10K vs 8). eDraw's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

TED Talks holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TED Talks has 10K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 44% of TED Talks's written reviews are positive against 14% of eDraw's.
