Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: CineStarz at none against Jlive's shown. CineStarz also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Jlive's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 15 months) and iOS requirement (15.5 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
