Verdict
truTV and pop1stats both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 67% of pop1stats's written reviews are positive against 15% of truTV's. pop1stats also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). truTV's advantage is ratings volume (14K vs 10) and device support (4 vs 1). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
