Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: LocalTV+ at 186 against Red Mosquito's 2. LocalTV+ also leads on device support (4 vs 2). Red Mosquito's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
