Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: XMV Plus at 100% against Sub's 15%. XMV Plus also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Sub's advantage is ratings volume (788 vs 4) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 5 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
