Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: EWU Plus at 83% against Taboo TV's 34%. EWU Plus also leads on rating (4.6 vs 2.8) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). Taboo TV's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
