Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Truth+ at none against Burrow & Brew's 2. Truth+ also leads on ratings volume (478 vs 4) and chart position (#101 vs unranked). Burrow & Brew's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months). On price there is nothing between them.
