Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Cities 92.9 at none against Frndly TV's 17. Cities 92.9 also leads on rating (4.0 vs 3.6). Frndly TV's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 29 months) and ratings volume (2.5K vs 4). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
