Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: WHPR TV Now at 100% against Tablo's 20%. WHPR TV Now also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.1) and ads (none vs shown). Tablo's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 23 months) and ratings volume (107 vs 5). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
