Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Maraya مرايا at 4.1 against Roya TV's 3.0. Maraya مرايا also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (51% vs 24%). Roya TV's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 9 days) and ratings volume (156 vs 32). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
