Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Science Channel GO at none against VintaTV's 4. Science Channel GO also leads on ratings volume (5.2K vs 1) and device support (4 vs 2). VintaTV's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. VintaTV sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Science Channel GO asks for nothing beyond the download.
VintaTV holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Science Channel GO has 5.2K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
