  The answer to the title question is "No, they're both excellent for tactics training and are good at different things."
  
  Chess Tempo:
  
  * problems are a random selection of positions taken from actual games (chosen by computer to be good chess problems)
  * over 100,000 problems and growing
  * problems are served to you based on your rating
  * no extra didactic material, but you can read other users' comments and discussions on the problems, and look at computer-evaluated variations
  * free for basic usage, costs money for some extra features
  * online only (it's a website)
  
  CT-ART:
  
  * a specifically designed course with many composed problems (and some based on real games), so it is explicitly trying to teach you certain subjects
  * a fixed number of problems (thousands)
  * you just go through the courses in order
  * occasional didactic feedback asking you to demonstrate simpler patterns that can be put together to form the desired combinations, but no English discussion
  * costs money
  * can be used offline (it's an app)
