Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: FST Cinemas at 4.0 against My Astro's 2.6. FST Cinemas also leads on review sentiment (50% vs 25%). My Astro's advantage is update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 10 months) and ratings volume (8 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
