Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Trunkful at none against Runtime TV's shown. Trunkful also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Runtime TV's advantage is ratings volume (1.2K vs 4) and device support (5 vs 3). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
