The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Cinemio at none against StreamPocket's 1. Cinemio also leads on ratings volume (54 vs 1) and iOS requirement (10.2 vs 15.6). StreamPocket's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, rating, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
