Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Surgg at 5.0 against Televika's 4.4. Surgg also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 8) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 4 months). Televika's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (307 vs 1). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
