Verdict

The call

Hooked TV and Crispy both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Crispy's written reviews are positive against 37% of Hooked TV's. Crispy also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). Hooked TV's advantage is ratings volume (12K vs 12). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
