Verdict
The clearest difference is price: AutoTV at Free against Infuse's $99.99. AutoTV also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). Infuse's advantage is chart position (#158 vs unranked) and device support (5 vs 2). On ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
