Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: CANAL+ at 3.8 against Vini TV's 3.0. CANAL+ also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 24 months) and review sentiment (33% vs 5%). Vini TV's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 13) and ads (none vs shown). On price there is nothing between them.
