Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Joy Square at none against Block Buster's shown. Joy Square also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 84%). Block Buster's advantage is ratings volume (6.9K vs 7) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
