Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Sci at 4.6 against Classic Films's 1.0. Sci also leads on ratings volume (45 vs 1). Classic Films's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.6). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Classic Films sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Sci sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Sci holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sci has 45 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 0% and 0% positive.
