Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Empify at 4.9 against BES TV's 4.2. Empify also leads on review sentiment (93% vs 56%) and ads (none vs shown). BES TV's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
