Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Scope Cinemas at none against Major Cineplex's shown. Scope Cinemas also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15). Major Cineplex's advantage is review sentiment (28% vs 0%) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
