Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: CAF Events at 5.0 against MyDStv's 4.0. CAF Events also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). MyDStv's advantage is ratings volume (256 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
