Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Plechovka at none against Letterboxd's 10. Plechovka also leads on ads (none vs shown). Letterboxd's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks) and chart position (#18 vs unranked). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
