Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: IFT Network TV at none against UCRQ's shown. IFT Network TV also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). UCRQ's advantage is device support (4 vs 2). On price, rating, review sentiment and ratings volume there is nothing between them.
