Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: ShareShows at every 6 days against Vue TV's every 8 months. ShareShows also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Vue TV's advantage is ratings volume (10 vs 1) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
