The clearest difference is rating: JEM.tv at 4.9 against Kehati's 4.5. JEM.tv also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 73%) and update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months). Kehati's advantage is ratings volume (157 vs 11). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
