Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: truTV at 4.5 against Discover Cox's 3.0. truTV also leads on ratings volume (14K vs 2) and device support (4 vs 1). Discover Cox's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
