Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: CANAL+ at 3.8 against TV Smart GO's 1.0. CANAL+ also leads on review sentiment (33% vs 4%) and ratings volume (517 vs 2). TV Smart GO's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
