Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Bill O'Reilly at 71% against AM 560 The Answer's 2%. Bill O'Reilly also leads on rating (4.7 vs 2.5) and ads (none vs shown). AM 560 The Answer's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
