Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CineD at none against Outside's 1. CineD also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 weeks). Outside's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#140 vs unranked). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
