Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: GoTV at none against Channels Pro's 18. GoTV also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (59% vs 50%). Channels Pro's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (4.5K vs 761). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.
