Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Imagen TV at 2.3 against Cinépolis's 1.7. Imagen TV also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (13% vs 4%). Cinépolis's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (818 vs 18). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
