Verdict
Trivia and Sporcle both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 85% of Trivia's written reviews are positive against 35% of Sporcle's. Trivia also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 6) and ads (none vs shown). Sporcle's advantage is price (Free vs $6.99) and update cadence (monthly vs every 5 months). On rating, chart position, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
