Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: TV Cast Helper at 5.0 against Parcelio's 4.0. TV Cast Helper also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). Parcelio's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
