Verdict
The First TV and Live From Studio 6B both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Live From Studio 6B's written reviews are positive against 51% of The First TV's. Live From Studio 6B also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ads (none vs shown). The First TV's advantage is ratings volume (3.4K vs 20) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, rating, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
