Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: American Mortals at 5.0 against Xfinity Home's 4.3. American Mortals also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Xfinity Home's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 23 months) and ratings volume (12K vs 8). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
