Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Screening Room at none against TPTV Encore's shown. Screening Room also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). TPTV Encore's advantage is device support (4 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.5). On price, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
