Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Orbitv at 4.7 against WiTV Viewer's 4.0. Orbitv also leads on review sentiment (54% vs 13%) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 13 months). WiTV Viewer's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
