The clearest difference is ads: MyDStv at none against Bukoleya Extra's shown. MyDStv also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (252 vs 14). Bukoleya Extra's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 4.0) and review sentiment (50% vs 23%). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
