Verdict
MGM+ and Blue October TV both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Blue October TV's written reviews are positive against 36% of MGM+'s. Blue October TV also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 16) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). MGM+'s advantage is ratings volume (89K vs 22) and chart position (#40 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.
