Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: TV Show Tracker at 4.4 against InstaFlix's 3.9. TV Show Tracker also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). InstaFlix's advantage is iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
