Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TunnelWorm at none against Absorption's 1. TunnelWorm also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and device support (5 vs 3). Absorption's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (60 vs 6). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
