Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: WTCtv at 5.0 against EPB Fi TV's 2.6. WTCtv also leads on monetization model (free vs subscription). EPB Fi TV's advantage is ratings volume (59 vs 4) and update cadence (every 6 months vs every 14 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
