Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: VIDAA Channels at 5.0 against FidelityTV's 4.0. VIDAA Channels also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 4 months) and iOS requirement (12.4 vs 15.6). FidelityTV's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (11 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
