Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Mango Play at none against MangoTV's 24. Mango Play also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). MangoTV's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (13% vs 0%). On price, monetization model, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
