The clearest difference is review sentiment: TheaterEars at 61% against ClaroTV+'s 11%. TheaterEars also leads on rating (4.9 vs 2.5) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months). ClaroTV+'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and ads (none vs shown). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
