Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: StbEmuTV at 2.3 against IP's 1.7. StbEmuTV also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 5 weeks). IP's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (2.1K vs 50). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
