Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Streamyfin at none against JellyTV's 10. Streamyfin also leads on ratings volume (156 vs 39) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 26.0). JellyTV's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
