Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Timeless Archive at none against Sutudu.TV's shown. Timeless Archive also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Sutudu.TV's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (8 vs 2). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
