Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: The Tillergraph Magazine at 100% against Idea Store's 20%. The Tillergraph Magazine also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.6). Idea Store's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 20 months) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
