Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: MTC Cable + at 100% against EspialTV's 29%. MTC Cable + also leads on rating (4.0 vs 3.7) and device support (4 vs 2). EspialTV's advantage is ratings volume (9 vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 6 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
