The Verdict
SISTRIX is built for european seo teams and agencies, with a focus on visibility-index and keyword-research. The Trade Desk targets media buyers and agencies and leads with programmatic-buying and connected-tv.

Neither tool offers a free plan, so factor the subscription cost into your decision from the start.
Both tools are a solid fit for agencies — in those cases, the decision often comes down to workflow style and how your team prefers to organize work.
This is a genuinely close comparison. If you can, sign up for both free trials (where available) and run a one-week test with your actual team tasks before deciding.
