Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Refocus Now at freemium against Sight & Sound TV's subscription. Refocus Now also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 16.6). Sight & Sound TV's advantage is ratings volume (980 vs 6). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
