Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Shine TV at every 3 months against Southern Eastercamp's every 12 months. Southern Eastercamp's advantage is monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.6). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
