Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Tavern Crawl at none against Forge Master's 14. Tavern Crawl also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). Forge Master's advantage is chart position (#14 vs unranked). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
