Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Array of Hope at 100% against Optimum TV's 23%. Array of Hope also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Optimum TV's advantage is ratings volume (26K vs 7) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 14 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
