Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Spot Network at free with in-app purchases against Ryde TV's subscription. Spot Network also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). Ryde TV's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, rating, review sentiment and ratings volume there is nothing between them.
