Verdict
The clearest difference is price: iTV Shows at Free against Ambient's $0.99. iTV Shows also leads on rating (4.6 vs 1.0) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 16 months). Ambient's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 26.0). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
