The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Starter Pack Ideas at none against CANAL+'s 13. Starter Pack Ideas also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly). CANAL+'s advantage is review sentiment (33% vs 0%) and ratings volume (510 vs 4). On price, rating and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
