Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Forest Education at none against Time to Read's 1. Forest Education also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.6). Time to Read's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 8 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
