Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: TV Tracker at 284 against Directarr's 3. TV Tracker also leads on update cadence (daily vs weekly). Directarr's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
