Verdict
IMDb and HindiFlix both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 93% of HindiFlix's written reviews are positive against 51% of IMDb's. HindiFlix also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.2 vs 17.0). IMDb's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 11 months). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.
