Verdict

The clearest difference is review sentiment: re at 100% against SpeedUpTV +'s 47%. re also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and price ($1.99 vs $4.99). SpeedUpTV +'s advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 8 months) and ratings volume (86 vs 7). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
