Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Mebro at 5.0 against TV Guide's 4.3. Mebro also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). TV Guide's advantage is ratings volume (117K vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
