Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: xkcd Lite at 4.5 against Jellyfin Mobile's 4.0. Jellyfin Mobile's advantage is ratings volume (503 vs 6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

xkcd Lite holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Jellyfin Mobile has 503 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two.
