Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Trasora at 5.0 against Astound TV+'s 2.6. Trasora also leads on review sentiment (50% vs 13%) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.0). Astound TV+'s advantage is ratings volume (78 vs 4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
