Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Bartlett Connect at 5.0 against Xfinity's 4.3. Bartlett Connect also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and device support (3 vs 1). Xfinity's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (1.4M vs 2). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
