Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Hallmark+ at free with in-app purchases against Pure Flix's subscription. Hallmark+ also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months) and chart position (#40 vs #166). Pure Flix's advantage is review sentiment (41% vs 8%) and rating (4.6 vs 4.2). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Pure Flix holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 12K and 14K respectively. Written reviews point the same way: 8% of Hallmark+'s written reviews are positive against 41% of Pure Flix's.
