Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Electronics Bazaar at none against The Town Talk's shown. Electronics Bazaar also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 18.6). The Town Talk's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months) and chart position (#170 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
