Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Things That Go Bump by Tinybop at none against Punch TV's shown. Things That Go Bump by Tinybop also leads on review sentiment (76% vs 64%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Punch TV's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (304 vs 39). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Punch TV holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5.
