Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: footnotes at none against Together Board's 2. footnotes also leads on ratings volume (200 vs 2) and update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). Together Board's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and device support (5 vs 1). On price, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
