Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Netflix at 4.7 against GLITCH Animation's 1.0. Netflix also leads on review sentiment (59% vs 19%) and ratings volume (7.5M vs 1). GLITCH Animation's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
