Ayos makes your subscriptions easy to navigate. Every channel you follow lands in one clean feed, in the order it posted, so you can find what's new, pick up where you left off, and skip the rest. NAVIGATE EVERYTHING IN ONE PLACE - One feed for all your channels, sorted by newest, oldest, or most viewed, with its own sort for each feed. - Unwatched, Started, and Watched views, so your place is always clear. - Channel pages with your progress and a "Next" episode for each series. - Liked Videos: import your likes and browse them in your own order. - Collections for links, notes, and checklists, so what you save sits next to what you plan to do. - Save links from Safari or any app with the share sheet, or paste a link from the clipboard. - Siri and Shortcuts support for adding channels. BUILT TO STAY CALM Ayos doesn't rank your feed or push you toward what's trending. You decide what comes next. FREE AND PREMIUM Free use includes up to 20 saved notes and checklists. Premium removes that limit, adds unlimited collections, and syncs your collections across your devices. Every new install gets a 30-day free trial. When the trial ends without Premium, your saved links, notes, collections, and watch history stay in the app, but channel updates pause until you upgrade. Premium is $9.99 a year or $0.99 a month. Subscriptions renew automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage your subscription in your Apple ID settings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Ayos at every 3 days against SlimByte's every 5 months. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
