Verdict

The call

STARZ and Tonight's Conversation both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 96% of Tonight's Conversation's written reviews are positive against 9% of STARZ's. Tonight's Conversation also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (16.6 vs 18.0). STARZ's advantage is ratings volume (332K vs 5.6K) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
