Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Streamyfin at 150 against Röst's 1. Streamyfin also leads on rating (4.2 vs 4.0) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 27.1). Röst's advantage is update cadence (every 11 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
