Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Descourse at 100% against Cinépolis USA's 13%. Descourse also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 months). Cinépolis USA's advantage is ratings volume (4.8K vs 5) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
