Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Nova Play at free with in-app purchases against bgtime.tv's subscription. bgtime.tv's advantage is review sentiment (48% vs 12%) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
