Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TG Connect at none against Filmatch's 1. TG Connect also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). Filmatch's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
