Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Olyflix at none against FirstShows's shown. Olyflix also leads on iOS requirement (11.2 vs 13.0). FirstShows's advantage is monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
