Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: RTVE Play at none against Television Spain's 3. RTVE Play also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (55% vs 35%). Television Spain's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating and update cadence there is nothing between them.
