Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: TatePad at 4.9 against Story Plotter's 4.4. TatePad also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). Story Plotter's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (193 vs 33). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
