Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: PlayVideos at none against Runtime TV's shown. PlayVideos also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 4 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). Runtime TV's advantage is device support (5 vs 3). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
