Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Indian Express Tamil at none against Dinakaran's 3. Indian Express Tamil also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 78%). Dinakaran's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 8 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
