Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Xfinity Stream at 4.6 against The Fox Theatres's 3.7. Xfinity Stream also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 19 months) and ratings volume (270K vs 3). The Fox Theatres's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
