Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: CoinsTV at none against JCSGold's shown. CoinsTV also leads on ratings volume (215 vs 1) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). JCSGold's advantage is update cadence (every 4 months vs every 10 months). On price, rating and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
