Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: The Paddock App at every 6 days against CMX Cinemas's every 5 weeks. The Paddock App also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). CMX Cinemas's advantage is ratings volume (7K vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
