Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Runtime TV at 66% against BVC Play's 0%. Runtime TV also leads on rating (4.7 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (1.2K vs 1). BVC Play's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
