Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Read Tamil at none against Tamil 101's 2. Read Tamil also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.5). Tamil 101's advantage is ratings volume (750 vs 6) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Tamil 101 holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tamil 101 has 750 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 93% of Tamil 101's written reviews are positive against 100% of Read Tamil's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
