Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: JustPlay Media at 5.0 against Streamyfin's 4.2. JustPlay Media also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks) and review sentiment (100% vs 71%). Streamyfin's advantage is ratings volume (156 vs 1) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
