Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Metrograph at none against Arrow Video Channel's 1. Metrograph also leads on ads (none vs shown). Arrow Video Channel's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 3 months). On price, review sentiment, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
