Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Zoomer All Access at free against Cascade PBS's free with in-app purchases. Zoomer All Access also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). Cascade PBS's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (32 vs 4). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
