Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Treigning Lab at free with in-app purchases against SOB TV's subscription. Treigning Lab also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.6). SOB TV's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (343 vs 7). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
