Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CurioMind at none against Tomo's 8. CurioMind also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). Tomo's advantage is ratings volume (29 vs 1) and device support. On price and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CurioMind holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tomo has 29 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
