Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: TNN Progressive at none against Free Speech TV's shown. TNN Progressive also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 72%) and update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). Free Speech TV's advantage is ratings volume (587 vs 1). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
