Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Tangi 96.5 at none against TruBlu's 2. Tangi 96.5 also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). TruBlu's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 34 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
