Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: GuideKeep at free against Popcorn's subscription. GuideKeep also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 8 days). Popcorn's advantage is ratings volume (892 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
