Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: MLS at 4.9 against ShowingTime's 2.4. MLS also leads on review sentiment (45% vs 13%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). ShowingTime's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
