The clearest difference is ads: YOW.tv at none against InstaFlix's shown. YOW.tv also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). InstaFlix's advantage is rating (3.9 vs 3.5) and review sentiment (64% vs 45%). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
