Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: GO+ at none against TVNZ+'s shown. GO+ also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (2.3 vs 2.0). TVNZ+'s advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
