Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: The Shuman at free against Xfinity's free with in-app purchases. The Shuman also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.2). Xfinity's advantage is ratings volume (1.4M vs 4) and rating (4.3 vs 4.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
