Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Universo Now at 4.3 against TVmia's 3.0. Universo Now also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and review sentiment (60% vs 32%). TVmia's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
