Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: NX Play at none against Runtime TV's shown. NX Play also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Runtime TV's advantage is ratings volume (1.2K vs 1) and device support (5 vs 3). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
