Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: TLDR at free with in-app purchases against AI Summarizer's subscription. TLDR also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price, rating, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
