Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ARCCTV at 4.5 against S's 1.7. ARCCTV also leads on review sentiment (14% vs 0%) and ratings volume (69 vs 6). S's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 30) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
