Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: The Hero Journey at none against Taba's 2. The Hero Journey also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). Taba's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 14 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
