Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Torah Library at $4.99 against Talmud Dictionary & Concordan's $14.99. Torah Library also leads on rating (3.7 vs 3.1) and review sentiment (67% vs 40%). Talmud Dictionary & Concordan's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 27 months). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
